Blumenberg's Rhetoric

Zusatztext

<p> Marking the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of one among this philosophers most distinguished pieces,<em>Blumenbergs Rhetoric</em> proffers a decidedly diversified interaction with the<em>essai</em> polyvalently entitled Anthropological Approach to the Topicality (or Currency, Relevance, even<em>actualitas</em>) of Rhetoric ("Anthropologische Annäherung an die Aktualität der Rhetorik"), first published in 1971.</p><p> Following Blumenbergs lead, the contributors consider and tackle their topics rhetoricallytreating (<em>inter alia</em>) the variegated discourses of Phenomenology and Truthcraft, of Intellectual History and Anthropology, as well as the interplay of methods, from a plurality of viewpoints. The diachronically extensive, disciplinarily diverse essays of this publicationnotably in the current<em>lingua</em><em>franca</em>will facilitate, and are to conduce to, further scholarship with respect to Blumenberg and the art of rhetoric.</p><p> With contributions by Sonja Feger, Simon Godart, Joachim Küpper, DS Mayfield, Heinrich Niehues-Pröbsting, Daniel Rudy Hiller, Katrin Trüstedt, Alexander Waszynski, Friedrich Weber-Steinhaus, Nicola Zambon.</p>
